Dan does fantastic work. I've sent him multiple posters in the past and I've never had an issue. Definitely recommend.

Are there any issues with customs (or, other things to consider that are not well known) shipping a valuable poster for restoration/backing across country borders and then back again? Thanks, Okie

Yeah you might have an empty tube show up

 No there aren't any issues especially canada/US
Chris was just unlucky one time which had nothing to do with border crossings
And nothing to do with this thread
God speed all

Hey Okie,
For what it's worth, I think I've only sent him maybe 5-6 posters.
However, these posters have ranged from $200 to about $1,700. I've also sent posters both tubed and flat.
With that said, though I have not done a lot of business with him, all of my transactions have gone perfectly. His communication is great, posters turn out great, and I've never had any customs issues, (sending or receiving). Highly recommend.

Dan did some really nice restoration work on some US HS from the 1930s recently, as well as some recent work on a French 1P for Good, Bad and the Ugly

Looks like a really nice job on those 1/2 sheets with tricky missing paper
